ROCKMART, Ga. -- After a week of rain, we were ready to get back on the trail first nice day. This time we went on the Silver Comet Trail west of Rockmart.
Although I've run on the Alabama portion of this trail, the Chief Ladiga Trail, in sections from Piedmont, Ala. all the way to Jacksonville, Ala., this is the furthest west that I've run on the Georgia section.
So I wasn't sure what to expect. First, there was great parking at the Nathan Dean Park just a few miles west of downtown Rockmart.
Going westward, the trail continues on a boardwalk and then winds its way through a field and then along Highway 278.
Like most of this rail-to-trail corridor, the trail was flat, save for a few hills here and there.
It didn't take too long to get a 5-mile run in on a sunny day and before long we were back in Atlanta!
Time: 9:50 a.m.
Temp: 48 degrees (rose significantly during run)
Gear: Technical T-shirt, long (Eastside Trail 10K), shorts, Nike Zoom Air Pegasus+ 31.
